In the rough and tumble world of rock & roll, there are many kinds of artists, and many kinds of fans. However, it takes a special kind of dedication to truly be considered a lifer ; putting in the years, miles, blood, sweat, and tears of living and breathing for chasing your musical vision. Undeniably, Suzi Moon is a rock & roll lifer, and this new double LP collection of the recorded output of her band Turbulent Hearts is an essential chapter in the story of that life!After starting off as a young teenager, Suzi spent years touring in the Long Beach punk band Civet (alongside her older sister Liza Graves) before stepping up to the center stage mic with Turbulent Hearts in 2014. She’d been writing her own songs since the age of 13, and she was ready.The band made their mark in the mid- to late-2010s, and after they parted ways, Suzi moved on to the garage psych combo LA Machina and ultimately, recording under her own name. Across the four sides of Turbulent Hearts: All Out, the band’s entire recorded output - 4 EPs and change over the course of 7 years - is collected in one place for the first time for fans old and new to enjoy.Aided and abetted by the rhythm section of bassist Mark Johnson and drummer Jay Skowronek, Suzi blazes her path as a songwriter and performer with the confidence of a self-made superstar. Suzi reflects fondly on the band and the time period they were together. “This was such a prolific songwriting period for me.” says Suzi. “I really found my voice with this band, and I could have never done the Suzi Moon band if I hadn’t done my time with the Turbulent Hearts.”It is tempting to listen to these songs and pick out the trajectory that would lead Suzi to become a breakout solo act - and indeed, there is plenty of that to listen for - but perhaps these songs are best enjoyed as they were written: immediate, urgent, and in the moment...just like all the best rock & roll! “We started playing local shows. We said yes to every show we got offered. We were just happy to get onstage and play together. It wasn’t about getting famous or changing the world...it was about playing as fast and ferociously as possible, on a fun show with our friends’ bands.”These songs have never sounded better. Legendary punk producer Mass Giorgini, who worked with Moon on all of her Pirates releases, stepped up to the plate once again to polish these songs & make them sound like a cohesive unit for this vinyl re-release. Even for those who had the original records, this is the definitive statement from the band. “Turbulent Hearts is a massive part of my story,” sums up Suzi. “I am thankful and excited to be working with my family at Pirates Press Records to finally unleash this collection of 20 songs that mean so much to me.” SIDE A01.
